    RIP Zimbabwean International Cricket

    Eddie, look around your country. See the nice buildings, the shiny automobiles, the fancy clothing? You can thank my ancestors for that. YOU brought up the race card, whining and moaning that a few whites were having their farms taken away. Until then, people hadn't broached the subject. Do...

    RIP Zimbabwean International Cricket

    Ok here's the answer: No. White people cannot be discriminated against because they're white. Want to know why? Because they've got all the power and money all over the world. They've colonized countless countries, massacred millions of people, brought disease and famine all around the world...

    Oh and I suppose my interpretation didn't merit a mention? I thought it was darn good.

    Aussie team picked - no MacGill

    Amateur?! Well I never! :D And the point is the team spirit which runs across every team game, and is not native just to cricket.

    It started deteriorating the second Sachin's foot touched it.

    Leg Spinner's Right Foot Plant

    This post will sound like I'm on drugs, but I assure you I don't think I am. Imagine an ambidextrous spinner who could bowl with either hand. He'd come lumbering in and could bowl with the hand the balls in or toss it to the other. It'd freak the batsmen out I'd think. Has this ever been tried...

    Aussie team picked - no MacGill

    Yes, so surely he could've called his teammates up first to gauge their willingness not to tour and then done it en masse, instead of trying to be the lone ranger.

    Ricky Ponting calls Lara selfish

    Cricket players get asked questions about everything. The smarter ones memorize the words "No Comment".

    lara vs tendulkar

    I thought he was saying Hayden's a foulmouthed Aussie with a big head who is in no way an example of the sociological definition of the word "class". I.e., he's a bull in a china shop and someone who you'd never want to introduce your mother to because he might slap her then bodyslam her.

    Aussie team picked - no MacGill

    My opinion is informed by personal experience. I'm a member of a basketball team, and we're a small, tight-knit group, 16 of us altogether. If a similar situation like this occurred, and one of those 16 said what MacGill said, that would be it as far as being considered a teammate or a friend...

    lara vs tendulkar

    Regarding the Lara at #1 thing, I wasn't putting words in your mouth, I was just wondering if that was what you were arguing. I think Waugh would do a magnificent job captaining the West Indies. First and foremost he'd instill a sense of discipline. No more "optional" practice sessions or...

    lara vs tendulkar

    Somehow out of the words "Steve Waugh is an excellent captain", you managed to extract "Steve Waugh is the best captain of his generation." I didn't say that. I nevertheless remain steadfast that he was an excellent captain. So what if he had excellent players? That doesn't diminish the...

    lara vs tendulkar

    Yeah but isn't a captain's job to win? Score a thousand runs every series if you like, but if you lose every series, you stink. Maybe it's a function of having poor players, but I think perhaps Lara has mismanaged some of his decent players so as to make them look worse than they actually are...

    Turning down County Offers

    I probably am being a bit too pessimistic about English county cricket sorry. But I still think Australian state cricket has a higher quality of play so international players would benefit more from playing with them.

    Turning down County Offers

    On an unrelated note, Krkode, I read a post of yours on another thread stating you were doing the whole college process thing. How'd that work out? Well I hope! I went through that two years ago, that is one annoying thing! If you don't mind, which schools are you considering? It's okay if you...

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    No I wasn't trying to disprove that every wicket doesnt get harder to bat on, what are you talking about? I was questioning your statement that thats a trait inherent only to the pitches in India, which is what I gathered from what you said, to which I responded, oh you mean like every other...

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    Yes, but tooextracool truly believes Tendulkar has this power.

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    Well if Tendulkar gets out first ball, then it was a good, seaming pitch, or a hard, bouncy pitch, or a greentop. If he scores anything above 49, it was a damn flat pitch.
